Meet the Owners
Josh Kiecker, Co-Owner & Principal Designer
Josh grew up on a farm in rural Minnesota, where he developed a love for nature and the outdoors. He spent much of his childhood helping with the family’s farm business and experimenting with landscaping. One of his first water features, designed and built during his high school years, is still flowing today!
Josh pursued his passion for landscaping and design by attending Central Lakes College in Brainerd, MN, where he graduated with a degree in Landscape Architecture & Technology in 2001. He enjoys the creative and artistic aspects of landscape design and the happiness his work brings to clients. Josh is a Minnesota Certified Landscape Professional, a Power Limited Electrician, and holds a certification from the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute.
Josh and Jewels live in Independence, MN, with their three children, Josie, Reese, and Brett, along with their three fur babies Milo, Pippa, and Jinx, as well as several chickens. In their spare time, the family enjoy outdoor activities like fishing, boating, camping, four wheeling and gardening. They also love traveling internationally and have visited places like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras.
Jewels Kiecker, Co-Owner/CEO
Jewels grew up in Rosemount, MN, and had a taste of entrepreneurship at an early age. In high school, she developed a non-profit organization, Let Your Image Shine, and worked as an office manager at her family’s business. She attended Arizona State University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in business and communications.
After graduation, Jewels practiced international law enforcement in Belize and held law enforcement positions in Hawaii and Minnesota. Her love of serving others and the outdoors made transitioning into the landscape industry a natural decision. She enjoys the variety and creative outlets that owning a landscape design and install company provides.
